Can't Multiply Variables

Hi everyone, it's me again. I'm sorry if this question/suggestion has been asked/made before, but I am trying to make a custom AI with EZ-Script, and I would like to know if multiplication with declared number or float variables (i.e. "num1" * "num2") is possible at all. If not, I think it would make ARC so much more flexible!...

Inmoov Pots

I am looking for an alternative to the servos with the pots removed on the InMoov robot. I was wondering if a continuous servo could replace these considering the comprehensive control we now have using ARC.

Wire Up A Single Led

I wonder if I am doing something wrong. I just got my developers kit and want to hook up a single LED. I have powered on and connected to the kit. I then added a "Set Digital" control to the project. But when I connect to the LED to the corresponding pins they do not turn on. I have wired the LED to a servo wire with the long wire...
question

Servo And Sound Being Stuck(Or Slow Reaction)

Hello everyone. Why my roli gets stuck while making an action or speaking out words? This issue seems random. For example, when I instruct my roli to do "clap" action again and again in ARC , the robot may finish the action very slow one time, but normally the other time. I suspect this problem may be caused by the connection issue. I...
